There are approximately 200.000 individual glaciers globally, scattered from low-latitude
high mountains to high-latitude islands and to the fringes of the ice sheets. Each one
adapts to changing climate conditions individually, not only causing effects of different
kind and magnitude but also telling different stories about the drivers for their change.
In search of and in order to put light on these different aspects of glacier change Georg Kaser
will travel through space, time, and methods from the 17th century glaciers of the
Ötztal Alps to the highest low-latitude mountains, the global perspective, and back to
the Ötztal Alps where we find modern laboratory-like conditions for detailed studies of
the glacier-atmosphere interaction.
